So, we finally upgraded to CS5 from CS3 however now I am having a few problems.
When opening pdf's in illustrator CS5 will say links are missing, and come up as blank if I ignore the missing links. When I open the same file in illustrator CS3 it opens up perfectly without any issues and full vector editability.
I have also noticed that when I use the flatten transparency feature with CS5 it very often just flattens the entire image and makes it what appears to be a non-vector piece. Before I would place a customer supplied pdf in illustrator CS3 as a link and flatten transparency and ensure all text is converted to outlines. I realize this may not be the proper way to do things, but it beats spending 2 months going back and forth trying to explain to a customer what a font file is.
I'm curious what changed in CS5 that is now making pdf's have missing links when the same file opens perfectly fine in CS3? Should I just use CS5 strictly for downsaving files and keep on using CS3?
Thanks for the help!
